Gabriella clashed with Mashiro, hundreds of holy light blades hovering around her body, striking him from every angle.
Mashiro fought back bravely. He got pushed back to the most disadvantaged situation without any chance to gain an upper hand. He used his super speed, enhanced strength, and elemental magic boost to block and counter her strikes. But no matter how hard he tried to push back the Elven Valkyrie, she always overpowered him.
He could no longer tell how much time had passed in these relentless clashes, but he knew for sure half an hour had passed since his first hero form automatically activated.
His hair glowed bluish-white, but the helplessness was still there, and he truly didn't like this feeling. It was as if he was being toyed with.
As he got pushed to the deadly corner once again, his second hero form awakened. His eyes glowed like a bluish-white flame. A greater magical boost empowered him, and he could feel more power fill his body.
You can never reach new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore. Just do it! ^^
